How long does it take for the Kalanchoe cuttings to see the sun?

1. How long to see the sun

Usually, the cuttings cannot be exposed to sunlight immediately after being grafted. They should be placed in a cool place at the beginning. It will take about 10-15 days before they can be exposed to sunlight properly. During the period when it has not yet taken root, it is best to place it in a place with scattered light, and wait until it grows new roots before exposing it to light.

Kalanchoe is a plant that likes short-term sunlight. If it is exposed to sunlight right after being cut, the moisture in the leaves will evaporate faster, the branches will be scarce, and the rooting speed will slow down. In severe cases, it may dry up and die.

2. Maintenance after cutting

1. Pay attention to moisturizing: After just completing the cuttings, be sure to keep the plants moisturized, but do not water them too much. As long as the cuttings leaves do not wilt, it is fine and the amount of water sprayed should also be controlled.

2. Adjust the temperature: You should create a rooting environment of about 15-24℃ for it. The appropriate temperature will help the branches take root quickly.

3. Transplantation: When the cuttings grow side buds, it means they have taken root and can be transplanted. If you find that the cuttings and leaves have wilted before transplanting, you need to do it again.
